Overview:

Pulmicort Turbuhaler
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Budesonide is a synthetic corticosteroid indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate active Crohn's disease involving the ileum and/or the ascending colon. Budesonide is used in Crohn's disease to decrease the symptoms and inflammation associated with the disease, especially at times of flare up. Budesonide has a high topical glucocorticosteroid (GCS) activity and a substantial first pass elimination. The formulation contains granules which are coated to protect dissolution in gastric juice, but which dissolve at pH >5.5, ie, normally when the granules reach the duodenum. Thereafter, a matrix of ethylcellulose with budesonide controls the release of the drug into the intestinal lumen in a time-dependent manner. For the treatment of mild to moderate active Crohn's disease.

Mechanism Of Action:
The exact mechanism of action of budesonide in the treatment of Crohn's disease is not fully understood. However, being a glucocorticosteroid, budesonide has a high local anti-inflammatory effect.
